From the New York
Times bestselling author of the Reapers
Motorcycle Club and Silver Valley
series comes an anthology of extras and never-before-released material,
including a new short story featuring fan favorites Horse and Marie.
Charming Bastard: A Novella
I first met Riley Boone when I was four years old. We
moved to Callup, Idaho after my dad blew out his back and had to go on
disability. Boonie’s family lived next to ours. Every afternoon he’d swagger
off the school bus after kindergarten like a conquering king. For the first
week he ignored me, until I impressed him by climbing nearly thirty feet up in
the tree behind his trailer. They had to call the fire department to get me
down, but it was worth it to see the respect in his five-year-old eyes. He gave
me a worm in honor of my accomplishment. I fell in love. The next day he made
me eat the worm and our relationship has been complicated ever since.
(Until now, this novella has been exclusively available in
the paperback edition of Silver Bastard.)

“Marie?”
Nothing.
I passed through the living room and started down the
hallway toward the kitchen.
“Babe, you in here?”
“In the back,” she replied, her voice faint. Entering the
kitchen, I knew something was wrong as soon as I saw her face. Her eyes were
red and puffy, and she seemed out of it—almost dazed.
“What the fuck’s going on?” I asked. She jumped, looking
toward me with something like fear in her expression. Jesus, had someone hurt
her? A burst of adrenaline rushed through me—nobody touched my woman. I’d
fucking kill them. She didn’t say anything, though. “Marie?”
She shook herself, almost as if she needed to wake up.
“Sorry, I was sort of lost in my thoughts.”
“What’s going on?”
She stared at me for several seconds, her mouth tight.
“We need to talk.”
Great—words every man loves to hear. So much for my
“welcome home” blow job.
“About what?” I asked warily.
“Sit down,” she murmured, glancing away from me. “You want
a beer?”
Up to that point, a beer had been damned high on my list
of priorities. Now? Not so much. I pulled out a chair at the big wooden block
that served as our kitchen table and sat down with a thump, leaning back. Then
I crossed my arms over my chest.
“So let’s talk,” I told her, forcing myself to stay
patient. Marie swallowed, then reached for the cup of tea sitting on the block
in front of her, taking a nervous sip.
“Okay, so here goes,” she said quietly, refusing to look
at me. “We’ve got some big changes ahead of us. You need to remember that it
just happened, babe. It’s not like I did it on purpose. Please remember that.”
